C16200 Cadmium Copper (CDA 162)
SAE J461
C16200 Cadmium Copper alloy offers a unique combination of high tensile strength and high electrical conductivity for an industry where these properties are generally considered incompatible. The nominal composition of 99.0% copper and 1.0% cadmium can lead to these unique properties.
